Logitech QuickCam driver compilation problems

evilmonkey · 12-25-2004, 12:58 PM

Hello. I'm running a SuSE 9.1 system, and I am having a problem installing the Logitech QuickCam driver for Linux. I got the driver here: http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/. I made sure all the kernel sources are installed (I'm running version 2.6.5.7.111.5, the latest I believe

). The "make all" command works, but when I try to compile it using quickcam.sh (with the argument LINUX_DIR =/usr/src/linux/, where my kernel is installed), the installation fails. Below is the whole procedure, including all the warning and errors.

Code:

 
//CALL THE "MAKE ALL" COMMAND:
linux:/home/Vitali # cd qc-usb-0.6.2

linux:/home/Vitali/qc-usb-0.6.2 # ./configure.sh
-=- Logitech QuickCam USB camera driver installer -=-
Hello! I am the (hopefully) easy-to-use, fully automated
qc-usb driver installation script.
At the moment, this is experimental, and if it doesn't work,
don't hesitate to quit this with Ctrl+C and install the
driver manually.

The driver is provided in source code form, so it has to be
compiled. This should happen automatically, but it does mean
that there are some steps required before installation.

You also need to know "root" user password to test and
install the driver.

Basically you need only to keep hitting Enter whenever you
see this prompt: --->. Sometimes you're asked root password.
Pay special attention to lines beginning with [!].
It means that some trouble has been detected.

To most important location is the path to your kernel source
or headers. This can be guessed, but you can specify it by
giving it as an argument to this script like this:
        ./quickcam.sh LINUX_DIR=/usr/src/linux

If you haven't done it yet, now it would be a good moment to
take a look at file README.

Next I'm going to check if you have some important programs installed
and if they and the kernel are of suitable version.

Any ideas? (sorry for the bump, but it'd be nice to have this figured out...)

benjalien · 01-05-2005, 02:44 AM

Hi,

I had the same problem, so I looked forward and found this site: http://www.seismo.ethz.ch/linux/webcam.html if you follow those (easy) instructions, you'll get a 640x480 resolution for your webcam (at least the logitech quickcal pro 300, I haven't tested others than mine)

Just post back if you have some trouble with it.

evilmonkey · 01-07-2005, 07:39 PM

Umm..I don't really understand. I downloaded this module, I compiled it (got a pwc.ko file), and I copied it to /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.111.5-default/kernel/drivers/usb/media. What next? My SuSE box doesn't know the modprobe, or the rnmod commands. Even if it does work, what do I do next?

Cheers!

hey, it appears the logitech quickcam express driver problem for the 2.6.x kernel is still unsolved.
(i posted a query on it that's gotten over 100 views but still no reply). Anyway, just wondering
if anyone got to the bottom of it. My latest efforts with the 2.6.8-24.10-default kernel (SuSE
9.2 Pro) resulted in failure although with a different error from yours.

---------------------
Can anyone help point me in the right direction? or has ANYONE compiled this driver successfully?
Is it something i didnt install? Pretty frustrated really

Thanks in advance!

P.S I noticed that you run 'make' before the quickcam.sh script. I think make should be done only if you
choose to go the manual way [if the quickcam.sh fails in some way].

That will solve the compile error.

I have solved that problem but I have still having problems compiling it. Seems to be a problem with kernel src having
one version and the boot kernel having another version. It seems to be a standard practice with SuSE kernels. They doped
the .10 off the running kernel. If I find the solution to finish compiling the driver I will post it.
